abstract = {This study explores the use of clinical override with the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI), including implications for predictive validity as well as the factors associated with this practice. The sample included 597 justice-involved youth from a metropolitan region in Québec, Canada. The clinical override was used in 32.5% of cases, usually to increase risk levels (30.3% of cases). As found in previous studies, clinical override did not increase the predictive validity of the YLS/CMI. Upward and downward clinical overrides were differently linked to the sociodemographic characteristics and criminal history of the youths in the sample. Criminal History, Peer Relations, Personality/Behavior, and Attitudes/Orientation risk/need domains were positively associated with upward override while Family Circumstances/Parenting, Personality/Behavior, and Attitudes/Orientation risk/need domains were negatively associated with downward override. These results are discussed in relation to the impact clinical override can have on the case management and interventions provided to justice-involved youth. © 2022 International Association for Correctional and Forensic Psychology.},

abstract = {This study examines the characteristics of youths convicted of sexual crimes (YSC) and youths convicted of non-sexual crimes (YNSC) to create an inclusive typology of clinical characteristics associated with sexual and general delinquency. The sample consisted of 391 justice-involved male youths aged 14–20. Participants completed either the Multidimensional Assessment of Sex and Aggression (MASA) or the Multidimensional Inventory of Development, Sex, and Aggression (MIDSA). Four profiles were identified based on a three-step latent profile analysis (LPA): Normal/Neurotic Delinquents, Macho Delinquents, Sexualised Delinquents, and Psychopathic Sexualised Delinquents. The youths in these profiles differed in the nature and intensity of their clinical characteristics and the incidence of their sexual and non-sexual delinquency. PRACTICE IMPACT STATEMENT: The distribution of YSCs and YNSCs across the four profiles shows that these are not completely distinct populations. Although two profiles in the typology comprised mainly YSCs, YNSCs were present in all profiles. This highlights the importance of rejecting the idea of one-size-fits-all treatment for these youth. The study also highlights the importance of basing treatment on the clinical characteristics and needs of justice-involved youth rather than on their index offence. © 2023 National Organisation for the Treatment of Abusers.},

abstract = {Background: Many critics consider that the cognitive behavioral approach (CBA) doesn't sufficiently take into account the needs of welfare/justice-involved adolescent girls in out-of-home placement centers, especially the centrality of interpersonal relationships (with other adolescent girls and care worker) and the establishment of a positive social climate in the placement environment. A gender-responsive approach such as the Caring and Just Community Approach (CJCA), could better establish this positive social climate. Objective: This study aims to explore whether the social climate is perceived more positively by adolescent girls who participate in the CJCA, compared to those who participated in the CBA. Methods: Participants are 213 welfare/justice-involved adolescent girls in out-of-home placement centers located in the Canadian province of Québec (CJCA = 60; CBA = 153). This study combines self-reported measures and clinical administrative data. Results: Among adolescent girls, the CJCA democratic community values seem to be associated with a social climate which could facilitate a feeling of being more involved in their out-of-home placement unit. Both clinical approaches seem to address the centrality of interpersonal relationships and respond to the needs to feel listened to, to be respected, and to be treated with fairness by care workers. Conclusions: This study reaffirms the importance of including gender-responsive aspects to efficient practice principles when adolescent girl intervention programs are developed. This is because different approaches, although effective, do not address all the needs of welfare/justice-involved adolescent girls in out-of-home placement centers. © 2019},
